I used TSB's Happy Happy Snowman which you can find here, colored with copics (YR04/07, YG03, B05/24/26/00, C1/3, T4/6/8, BC10, E000/50/00/13/15/31/33, R20/35/37, RV25/19,21) with sparkly snowflakes, a basic tag & hand-lettered sentiment using copics.

Yes, she is a spoiled pup!

Here is another of a mini scrapbook that I had made about our dog, Ali.  It is made from one 12 x 12 piece of cardstock, folded to an accordian fold , tag inserts, and ribbon tied.

Ghouls Gone Wild!

First I saw a Halloween sign 'Ghouls Gone Wild' and then I was determined to use these colors, then I found the digital image 'Gothic Girl' from Torico and found a sketch from Stamptacular Sunday Challenge... and well here you go...

 I love how it turned out - adding the orange & white twine really worked and the dot flourishes are glow in the dark paint; 'Gothic Girl' is colored with copics; the lettering is my own 'Pogo' letterstyle with the brush tip of copics, added some bling; on a 6"w x 5 1/2" high top folded card ready to send...

'Ghouls Gone Wild' is entered into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #128 sketch

Happy Fall...

It seems like its the season but yet here we are with 32ºC temperatures this week - we are certainly getting the warm weather that we should have had earlier - along with the heat, it leads to forest fires as our forests are more than crispy dry.  Thank goodness the Bear Creek fire is contained & all the residents are back home safe & sound.. It certainly makes us watch the mountains around our house closely...
Here is my challenge for today - Happy Fall ...
